Justine Fixes Everything - Reynolds-Ward, Joyce

. .

Résumé :
EVEN THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE... Over the years, Justine Martiniere has become the fixer for the Martinieres. Have a problem? Go to Justine to get it remedied. But it wasn't always that way. First, Justine needed to escape the abuses of her father, Philip. She didn't expect to fall in love with the man she married, Donald Atwood. But she did-and then she faced the choice between remaining married to Donald, or stopping her sociopathic, megalomaniac father. Justine Fixes Everything is in part the unusual love story of Justine and Donald-and in part the saga of her rise to power, viewed in retrospect as she tells the history to Philip's clone Mike, as he recovers from surgery. It's about what she sacrificed to become powerful-and, at the same time, how that past comes to haunt the challenges she faces toward the end of her life....
